We stand at the precipice of an imminent disaster.

Planet earth is in the throes of a major medical disaster. Most people deny, ignore or are oblivious to the consequences of the synergistic effect of global population aging, obesity, global warming, population growth, hepatitis, tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/AIDS. Therefore they go about their tasks and aspirations; unaware that we are being permeated and overtaken by plagues whose outcome is disaster.

With global population aging alone, we will have an imminent worldwide epidemic. America’s older population will be about 70 million by 2030. Obesity, heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes are the big killers. By the year 2025 Alzheimer’s will have crippled more than 22 million Americans and over 22 million Americans will have developed diabetes. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure and amputations, and dramatically raises the risk of heart attacks. The effect of global population aging on the nation’s health care costs will be overwhelming.

Doctors now regard obesity as a global health threat, saying it contributes to many life-threatening diseases including: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, breast cancer and colon cancer. It also raises the stress on joints, often causing injury and pain.

Research shows that the number of overweight people around the world has climbed to 1.1 billion. In the United States 61 percent of all adults are overweight. Obesity is no longer simply a medical problem... but an epidemic that threatens global well-being.

As of September 2000 nearly half of all Americans suffer from at least one chronic disease. The nation is unprepared to cope with the growing burden of chronic diseases, infectious diseases, and sexually transmitted diseases.

The United States has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases of all industrialized countries in the world. STDs affect one in four U.S. citizens over a lifetime. As of September 2000 more than 65 million Americans are infected with one or more sexually transmitted diseases. There are an estimated 15 million new infections annually, a quarter of them among teen-agers. The risks associated with STDs range from sterility to cancer to death. It is just a matter of time before major illnesses reach a critical level.

While the number of new AIDS diagnoses in the United States declined in 1999 due to AIDS drug cocktails, the incidence of HCV, HIV and HIV co-infected with HCV continues to increase. As of September 2000 about 1 million Americans are infected with HIV, roughly 40 percent are co-infected with HCV; there are over 40,000 new HIV infections every year, and it is estimated that half of the cases occur in teens and young adults. 

The percentage of HIV-positive cases turning up at anonymous testing centers in the United States has nearly tripled between 1997 and 1999 to reach 3.7%—a level comparable to some areas of sub-Saharan Africa. As of September 2000 about 1 million Americans are infected with HIV, and roughly 40 percent are co-infected with HCV. 

As of September 2000 AIDS has killed almost 20 million people worldwide and 2.6 million of those deaths were in 1999. Globally it is estimated that there are over 40 million people infected with HIV. There were about 5.4 million newly infected people in 1999. 

There are at least five viruses A, B, C, D, AND E, that are responsible for the vast majority of cases of acute and chronic virus-associated hepatitis. These major forms of hepatitis attack the liver and can cause liver cell injury.

Hepatitis A is found in food and water. Annually about 200,000 Americans and 10 million people worldwide contract hepatitis A. What is increasing concern now is that people that are already chronically infected with hepatitis B and C face a high risk of dying if they contract hepatitis A. Different viruses cause all three types of hepatitis. Infection with one virus type offers no immunity from infection by another.

Hepatitis B is transmitted by human body fluids such as blood, seminal fluid, vaginal secretions, breast milk, tears, saliva and open sores. Its methods of transmission include mother to baby, during sexual contact, deep kissing, and through the use of improper injection techniques. HBV is 100 times more infectious than HIV.

HBV is preventable with a vaccine. Nevertheless, due to the incompetence and lack of concern of the human race en masse more than two billion individuals alive today have been infected at some time in their lives with HBV, and approximately 350 million are chronically infected carriers of this virus. HBV is one of the most common human pathogens, and it is the most prevalent chronic virus infection worldwide. An estimated 140,000 Americans are infected each year with hepatitis B. Approximately 1 - 1.25 million Americans are chronically infected and are considered to be carriers of the virus.

Carriers of HBV are at high risk of serious illness and death from cirrhosis of the liver and primary liver cancer, diseases that kill more than one million carriers per year. In addition, these carriers constitute a reservoir of infected individuals who perpetuate the infection from generation to generation. A carrier is infectious and can transmit hepatitis B even though he/she has no signs or symptoms.

As of September 2000, it is estimated that 5 million Americans (some estimates go as high as 15 million) are infected with hepatitis C; that there are up to 230,000 new hepatitis C infections in the U.S. every year. About 8,000 to 10,000 Americans die of HCV annually, and the toll is expected to triple in the next decade or two. 

It is estimated that globally there are over 200 million people chronically infected with hepatitis C, and this large reservoir of infected persons constitutes a daunting source of potential new infections. HCV infection is the most common type of chronic viral hepatitis in the developed world. People who are already infected with HCV can get re-infected with different sub-strains of HCV. Over the next 10-20 years chronic hepatitis B and C alone are predicted to become a major burden on the health care system as patients who are currently asymptomatic with relatively mild disease progress to end-stage liver disease. . One source has estimated that HCV and HBV will be killing more Americans than AIDS by 2010. 

HDV is a virus that requires the helper function of HBV to replicate. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the major etiologic agent transmitted by autoimmune hepatitis. HEV may eventually be classified in a separate family.

If you have had a blood transfusion before 1992, a tattoo or body piercing; if you have shared a straw used for inhaling drugs, used IV drugs, been exposed to blood, had unprotected sex or deeply kissed anyone who could be infected you should be tested for hepatitis. (Sharing personal care items such as: razors, toothbrushes, pierced earrings, fingernail files and clippers can put you a risk of contracting HBV and HCV.) 

An effective way to estimate the future of hepatitis and HIV/AIDS is to parallel them with genital herpes — another virus with no incubation period. Overall, genital herpes infections jumped 30% in the United States from 1976 to 1994, with about one in five Americans over 12 years of age having the sexually transmitted infection. The data gathered suggest that over 45 million Americans are infected with the herpes virus, high-risk behavior is prevalent, and mother-child infection is widespread. It is estimated that 75% to 90% of all Americans have some form of herpes.

After almost forty years of decline, TB is again on the upswing. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 2 billion people or one third of the world’s population is currently infected with the TB bacillus. Someone in the world is newly infected with TB every second.

Tuberculosis is an increasing and major worldwide problem, especially now that many immune weakening diseases and circumstances facilitate the spread of active TB. HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, diabetes, old age, homelessness, malnutrition, heavy smoking, and drug and alcohol abuse (to name but a few factors) weaken the immune system, placing people at higher risk to get active TB. Globally, there are an estimated 8 million cases and 2 million deaths from tuberculosis every year. TB kills more adults in the world every year than any other single infectious cause of death.

It is estimated that nearly 1 billion people will become infected with tuberculosis, 200 million will become sick, and 70 million will die worldwide between now and 2020. (These figures do not include the synergistic effect of TB and MDR TB in relation aforementioned scenarios.) Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (called MDR TB for short) is a very dangerous form of tuberculosis. Some TB germs become resistant to the effects of some TB drugs. MDR TB can be spread to others, just like regular TB. MDR TB will be increasingly common and will intensify with the progression of the other diseases.

Compounding this imminent medical disaster is that people with HIV/AIDS or weak immune systems are more likely to develop malaria. Annually over 500 million people (mostly children) become ill with malaria and several million die. Every 30 seconds, a child somewhere dies of malaria. In addition, antibiotic-resistant bacteria will become increasingly common, and it will have a quite serious effect on nearly every community. 

Topping off this disaster is that fewer young people are taking up the nursing profession; and the nation will experience an acute shortage of registered nurses starting in 2010, when today’s nurses start to retire.

These episodes illustrate the volatility of infectious disease death rates and the unpredictability of disease emergence. Hospital beds will soon be overflowing with victims of the aforementioned scenarios (without skilled caregivers).

In countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America diseases are unraveling years of progress in economic and social development. Life expectancy, which has been steadily on the rise for the last three decades, will drop to 40 years and less in nine sub-Saharan countries by the year 2010.

In December 1994 the Mexican international reserves, which had stood at $29 billion, plunged to $5 billion. In an effort to stave off a collapse of the Mexican economy, the United States signed a $50 billion loan. In Mexico the financial damage was contained. Then South Korea needed direct financial help. The Asian economic disaster was far worse than the Mexican. Starting in Thailand in June 1997, it had spread to the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia by July. Stock markets in these four nations were down an average of 65 percent; their national currencies fell. As 1997 ended, the South Korea devaluation threatened Japan, and sent Wall Street down sharply.

The future holds a far deadlier economic disaster than the Mexican and Korean devaluation. The nine sub-Saharan countries unraveling, as well as the global state of affairs, will have their own domino effect. 

Warnings about: falling life expectancy, increasing numbers of orphans, extra costs for business, medical expenses overriding their exchangeable value, and the destruction of family and community structures to this degree have been obscured by Super Powers.

There is now compelling evidence that the aforementioned scenarios will have a profound impact on future rates of infant, child and maternal mortality, life expectancy and economic growth. These unprecedented impacts at the macro-level are matched by the intense burden of suffering among individuals and households. These factors are unique in their devastating impact on the social, economic and demographic underpinnings of development.

With dwindling numbers of economically active adults left to support the rest of the population, the impact on the economy will be crushing. As the global work force becomes plagued and the economy is overburdened, most high-end consumer products and services will fold and currencies will fall as societies’ medical needs become acute. The avalanche is gathering momentum.

The world’s population was about six billion in 2000. The way the population is growing, there could 8.9 billion people by the year 2030. The way the these viruses and medical problems are spreading, many experts agree that if left unattended, the affect on the world’s health care costs will procure a major disaster if the trends continue.

As one recognizes the moral free-fall of the world, and the fact that the majority of humankind has come to represent that which God abhors, it is very probable that these are the plagues of God’s judgment that will incite violence and kill one third of humankind. At the peak of this disaster the death rate will be higher than the birth rate.

There is a great medical cover-up taking place; and its intent is to offer a solution to a crisis it helped induce. Many professional leaders, doctors, and so-called theologians are advocating immoral behavior. Even politicians are endorsing the very acts that are responsible for this medical disaster. Super powers behind this cover-up are lying in wait — ready to proceed with their solution to this medical disaster: a total control, one-world government.

These super powers are knowingly misinforming the public, diverting from and clouding vital issues. They are deliberately implementing: absurd medical plans, ludicrous so-called tax reforms, and financial scams that will squander the political capital, and shred the social safety net; that will in turn warrant the collapse of the economy. Furthermore, many of these so-called tax reforms are a socialist scheme to do away with the middle class.

Another principal factor in the “War Against the Free World” (the cover-up) is that this medical disaster will orphan a multitude of children. Worldwide it is estimated that over 50 million children stand to lose one or both parents to AIDS by the years 2010. Include in this the synergistic effect of the aforementioned diseases and circumstance and God only knows how many children will be affected.

This is one of many circumstances that these super powers are going to exploit. Most orphans will be taken care of by the government. They want control of future generations. They will be put in military-type schools. Then they can teach them New Age Curriculum and control their minds.

These factors will contribute to a loss of skilled and talented people in this and coming generations. It is possible that euthanasia could be offered as an alternative to those in the late stages of AIDS/HCV or for others with severe medical problems. 

We are just beginning to see the tragic results to individuals, families, cities, states, nations and the world. Large sectors of cities will be uninhabited. At the same time, chronic housing shortages will plague other cities. The devastating times ahead will make the “great depression,” the severe U.S. economic crisis of the 1930’s, seem like easy street! Read Revelation 18:1-24.

Although illness as a result of Biblical immorality is not new, it presents us with the opportunity to sharpen our commitment to a life of faith, to enhance our personal ethics, and to initiate a desire to help others. It gives us the opportunity to share the teachings of Jesus Christ.



SPIRITUAL DEGRADATION AND IMMORALITY... 

...are leading to the destruction of the world as we know it.

Within the book Revelation is a blueprint of what the future holds. It is intended as a spiritual warning to prevent us from following worldly ways, to reassure the afflicted, to chasten the tempted, to strengthen those who suffer persecutions and sufferings inflicted by Satan and his subordinate demons. Some of the contents of this book seem bitter; there are prophecies that sound awful and terrible.

As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the plagues referred to in the Bible: plagues that incite violence and kill one third of humankind. Before the flood people were living in unmitigated defiance, acting as if everything were fine; and not until it started raining, and the waters began rising, and the flood was sweeping them away, did they realize their predicament.

The full impact of the aforementioned scenarios in terms of related illness, orphaned children, medical expenses overriding their exchangeable value, unproductivity, and mortality, is hard to perceive. Any planning for the future will need to consider the impact on caregivers having responsibility for invalids and orphaned children; also the impact on children having parents and parents having children with stigmatizing, and potentially fatal conditions.

Obviously this medical disaster will overload the health care system. Over the next 10-20 years the economic cost of this medical disaster will be reflected by an overburden of social medical response that will deny health services to the masses, in many nations.

Sometime in the near future (perhaps between 2012 and 2020) the economy will be in a free fall, inflation and unemployment will skyrocket, and labor productivity will be at an all time low. Poverty, hunger and disease will drive the majority of the population to seek unconventional means of subsistence.

When people feel they have nothing to lose (as is the case with some people who are infected with HIV, HCV or are terminally ill, especially those who are also into heavy drugs) the normal constraints they would put on themselves when it comes to killing, raping, robbing, burglarizing, etc. can lessen— or even disappear. An interesting side point is that the majority of the people infected with HIV in the early stages of this epidemic were homosexuals, who are generally not known for being violently aggressive. Can you imagine how we will be affected when the majority of those infected with HIV or HCV are hope-to-die-drug addicts or vicious predators?

As the socio-economic system crumbles, war itself will become synonymous with crime, as bands of stateless marauders plunder and destroy to gather scarce resources.

There is an alarming wealth of false knowledge; and the wrong kind of knowledge is as harmful as ignorance. The only effective weapons we have in the fight against these viruses are God’s universal principles of morality and decency.

Most people are unaware that there is a spiritual law regarding sex, a law that is as real as gravity. And for every sexual action, this spiritual law imposes a definite reaction.

God designed our anatomy and set in motion the sex stimuli. And it was God who instructed humankind about sexual morality. God’s plan for sexual integrity: one man, one woman, committed to one another – until death do they part.

Unhealthy or unnatural sexual behaviors are shattering lives by the millions. They cause the spread of disease, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, frustrations, broken lives, an astonishing number of murders and suicides, and an appalling percentage of divorces. In addition, the idea that homosexuality is an alternative life-style is a lie from the devil himself.

Homosexuality violates a very basic aspect of creation. If all people were homosexual the human race would have ended long ago. God intended and designed men and women to have distinct roles and functions. By warping and dissolving these God-given distinctions humankind has undermined divine order.

Most sane sexually promiscuous people are worried about STD’s. Many people fear that they have HIV or HCV, even though there is no way they could have contracted it. They fear that they may have caught the disease outside the normal modes of transmission. The number of troubled people is growing as fast as these diseases themselves.

We are not to gamble with God’s laws and bank upon the riches of God’s kindness to protect us. We all know these viruses are here and God’s grace is meant to lead to repentance. Accepting His kindness does not provide an excuse to sin.

How does God deal with those who reject him for an impious life style? In many cases He uses sickness to accomplish good. He allows hearts to be broken to save souls. He offers forgiveness to those who trust in the forgiving love of God through Jesus.

The wickedness of this world is widespread. Most people have forsaken the true God and His commandments; they have set up abominations and idols, and fail to worship. This wickedness has turned many so-called Christians into spiritual adulterers, idolaters, infidels, and hypocrites. The false premise of materialism has negated spiritual values and twisted reality into merely the desire for temporal aspirations for the masses.

There is suffering and poverty, and scores of people enthralled in darkness. Most people who could help others ignore or do not even care that some 1.2 billion people in the world are underfed or undernourished and about 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. Others claim to care and pray; they may even tithe, but do not act compassionately. (Giving 10% of your money and writing it off on your taxes is not considered a full tithe.) Most of the poor fail to pray for other suffering and neglected people. Multitudes have fallen by the intoxication of impure passion and abuse sexuality, drugs and alcohol; and many have grown rich on the abundance of this wantonness.

Who deserves a pardon? The blessings which humankind en masse has abused will be stripped away.

A forewarning has been written in the book Revelation: “Fear God and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment has come.” Be warned, it’s coming down the chute!!!

The majority of us will be repaid double, for the way that we treated the world. The so-called riches that some of the ungodly possess will not avail in heaven; but their continued selfishness will result in eternal punishment.

Some of God’s people will be caught in the line of fire. The just will call upon God for strength; they will endure and act as ambassadors of heaven; the impostors will fall to pieces or turn from God and pillage scarce resources.

We must trust God and strive to live devout Christian lives. We must maintain our perspective; the just will have life no harder than our Lord Jesus Christ had... while here on earth.

We need to face the truth of the facts and the reality of the future. Denial is not a shield; ignorance is not a sanctuary. We must realistically confront and evaluate the world around us to expand our awareness: invalidating denial and illusion… prompting compassion and love. We can make some changes at this point to mitigate some of the consequences, but this catastrophic event coming down upon the entire world is a result of sin, which has not stopped.

Lastly, it must be noted that I am not talking about the end of the human race, or the complete disappearance of civilized society. What I am trying to convey is that it is clear that the human race is dependent on the environment, and owing to the aforementioned scenarios in many parts of the world, inhuman living standards, uncivilized behavior, authoritarian governments, and ultimately, famine, illness and premature death will be increasingly common.

These is more... ask me to E-mail it to you.

A collapse (as of a society or regime) marked by catastrophic violence and disorder.
